Dames Who Give ...

I've recently joined a group of gals who have the right idea when it comes to fundraising. How is this for brilliant: Let's meet after work, no pomp or pretention, no glittery gowns. We will each toss money into a bowl. And then we'll give it away!!!"

For the past five months, this group of (mostly) Leadership Douglas County graduate women have met for a glass of wine and a brief presentation by a local non-profit. We gab and we giggle (as girls do), we listen, we learn, and we give.

I'm not sure who the brainchild is, I suspect it is Susan. She's an "ideas" person. In addition to Susan, there are a few key women who make sure the broadcast email is sent and the bottles of wine are purchased. There are a few little chores like that. But for the most part, it's simple giving, the way giving should be. That's pretty cool, to me.
